Abstract
A device for charging a pistol of the type charged by relative motion between a slide and a frame. A ratchet or some equivalent device is installed in a holster, without interfering with normal use of the holster. With the ratchet, the piston can be charged using only one hand, whereas two hands are normally required. Provision is also made for ejecting a cartridge, should one be present when charging takes place.
